“Switzerland is closer to technical defeat than Ukraine”

Renowned soccer lawyer Yuri Yurchenko He told what scenarios can be expected from UEFA in the case of canceling the League of Nations match Switzerland – Ukraine

The specialist assures that the Swiss team deserves a technical defeat more than the Ukrainian team.

“The Ukrainian team and the UAF refused to form the quarry, so as not to lose unequivocally (Switzerland probably had the maximum weakness), and thus there is the possibility of fighting for a technical defeat for Switzerland. And with the tie, there are more possibilities to help the opponent, putting an order of magnitude weaker from the base.

The position of the UAF, most likely, is that we were ready to play, and the decisions of the Swiss canton / doctor became an obstacle, and not the decisions or actions of the Ukrainian / UAF national team. The state (Switzerland) intervened, although UEFA itself allowed it with its own regulations.

There is no doubt that the Ukrainian team did not violate the regulations, so there is no reason for a technical defeat for our team. The Swiss team is closer to a technical defeat. Another question is how UEFA will assess the decision to quarantine the entire team, if it is an abuse of the right and the situation by the opposing country. If there was no abuse, then luck is out. If he overdid it with the quarantine, then a technical defeat for Switzerland.

Most likely, the match will not be postponed, because if the case has already been transferred to the disciplinary committee, then UEFA had already decided not to postpone the match before, ”Yurchenko said.
